Any truth behind the rumour? Can't Post

Hello, this is my first post, so please bear with me.

I have come here seeking knowledge because I can't remember this ever in my own reading but hoped someone might shed some light on the subject. I have seen several debates claiming that Thranduil was an oathbreaker/treaty breaker when he did not come to the dwarves' aid in the attack by Smaug. Is there anywhere in either letters, notes, or the books themselves where any sort of treaty or pact was made between the dwarves and elves prior to the events in the Hobbitt?

Thank you.
